Our sessions with the children and families are called 'clinics'

What is a clinic?This is when we reimburse the documented medical expenses of the children enrolled in our program to their families. We do not offer any direct medical services at these clinics.

How we validate "family status" for acceptance into the PPNI program?The Clinic Coordinators in Ajijic, Chapala, and Jocotopec use a number of criteria to verify that the family qualifies for entry into the PPNI program. The financial support that PPNI provides is one of ‘reimbursement’ for the costs directly related to the sick child’s medical, diagnostic and medication needs. Click herefor a full explanation.

Why we have the clinics?We need to assess the child’s progress since the previous visit, what new advice or medication change the doctor has prescribed, etc. Often the family may need to just chat a bit about a family situation or financial issue that is bothering them. We also review and reimburse the families' expenses.

Who runs each clinic? ​Nicole Sergent, our Clinic Director, runs the Chapala Clinic. Gloria Cardoso is our Coordinator for the Ajijic Clinic and Barb Corol is the Coordinator for the Jocotepec clinic and is assisted by Ginger Gonzales.If you are interested in attending a clinic to see what we do and/or becoming a clinic volunteer, please email clinics.ppni@gmail.com or call Nicole at (376)766-4375.​
